Perfect for hanging on your front door!

10. Take the left hand cord and use the same knot technique to cover the metal hoop, working in the other direction.

12. Cut a 2.5m length of cord and fold so there is 15cm on the left hand side. Attach using a cow hitch knot to the right ear as shown.

13. Use the 15cm of cord to wrap and tie around the ear join, covering the armature wire. Trim any excess.

14. Use the rest of the cord to cover the ear, tying the same knot pattern used to cover the metal hoop.
